Join the GVLT family

Volunteer

Giving your time is one of the easiest ways you can help trails and conservation in Southwest Montana. Whether you have an hour or a few, you can make an impact. We have a number of ways you can give your time such as trail maintenance or becoming a trail ambassador. We also seek volunteers to help in our office and at special events.

Working together to improve our community

Types of Projects

We offer a number of different opportunities and commitment levels for our volunteers. Below are the main areas where we seek volunteers.

1. Community Work Days

If you want to help but don’t have the time to commit on a regular basis, please join us for our community trail maintenance projects. We need your help to make sure the trails stay in excellent condition. RSVP is requested for each volunteer event.

Saturday Sept 28 – National Public Lands Day at Copper City – contact SWMMBA

2. Organize a Group

GVLT relies on volunteer groups from businesses, organizations, or clubs to help keep our trails in tip top shape. Trail maintenance is typically seasonal so we schedule group trail projects in May through October. Typical projects include things like gravel resurfacing, weed management, and brush trimming. Volunteering together can be great team building for your organization!

3. Project Matching

Volunteers can help GVLT in so many different ways. Whether a short term project, a special skill set, or a regular commitment, you can make a difference. However, as a small organization our volunteer needs are not constant and consistent. Because of this we use a matching system to place volunteers with projects, programs, and needs within our organization throughout the year. Please fill out the application so we know more about your availability, interests, and skills. If we do not have a need for your volunteer time immediately, we will keep your information on hand and reach out when something comes up.
